Done!  This piece sat around for quite a while before I decided that it wasn't finished without a binding.  I've stepped out of the box a little with this one- raw edges, woven strips (the top weaving is from Jude, I did the smaller one below), use of silk and no batting.  I just couldn't leave the outer edges raw.  It seemed too fragile that way.  With the binding, it's a lovely soft bit of a story quilt and really makes my heart sing.

The wonderful indigo moon is from Glennis at Shibori Girl.  The silk below was challenging to use, but I love the contrast.

And, for the curious, here's the back.  Some of the stitching you see on the front was done before I put it on a backing, so it isn't seen here.

Jude's next Spirit Cloth workshop starts on June 15 and I can't wait!
